What is the Podcli MCP Server?

AI-powered podcast clip generator for TikTok/YouTube Shorts. Transcribe, find viral moments, export vertical clips with burned captions.

What it actually does

Turn a long episode into short clips with face tracking and burned-in captions. Drive it from the CLI, a web studio, or your coding agent.

  • Runs locally. Transcription and rendering happen on your machine by default, so episodes stay there. Only the optional cloud engine (AssemblyAI) and publishing to YouTube send anything out
  • Free and open source under AGPL-3.0. Exports are unlimited, full quality, and watermark-free
  • Agent-native. 26 MCP tools let Claude Code or Codex drive the whole flow, transcription through publishing
  • A knowledge base keeps titles, captions, and descriptions in your show's voice, and stops the engine from resuggesting moments you already published
  • DaVinci Resolve handoff. Export any clip as FCPXML when you want to finish the edit yourself
